Cool. Going to trim them off tomorrow. Read somewhere that they just waist energy trying to repair the bad spots and it's better to cut them off. Thanks.![]()
I read that in the Medical Marijuana Bible by Cervantes or however you spell his name... but later on in the book he says 'don't ever cut sick leaves unless you absolutely have to!'
He's got some good suggestions but true to the 'bible' there are a lot of contradictions.

Really????? Damn.
There is so much information on the net that it's hard what to trust. Guess that why I gave myself till tomorrow night to figure out whether to cut or to leave them be.
Does anyone prune their plants? Heard about a pin wheel method or something. All about getting light tot he bottom of the plant.
I have a couple of bud sites being covered up by big ass fan leaves.

I'm gunna say 5 ounces![]()
I did math ...
900.5 X .25 = 225.125
225.125 / 28.35 = 7.941 (round up) 8oz
He could lose more moisture than 75% of course, but I decided from that plant that MM knows exactly when to stop drying and start curing, so he will likely have the optimal weight.

When are you suppose to stop drying?

The general consensus of what I"ve read says to stop drying when the stems no longer bend but crack, or are just about to. The bud should be firm but not crackling. Some people suggest smoking a small bud to evaluate the drying. The more it tastes like 'freshly mowed lawn' the longer it needs to dry. The buds should weigh about 75% less due to loss of moisture. If you dry too long you get a harsh smoke and the buds 'fall apart.' Then you cure the buds in jars for about a week opening the jars 2 to 3 times a day and gently turning the buds. This promotes even moisture through the bud and gives a better smoke.
I can recite the words verbatim but I'll be damned if I know how to put it into practice, but that's what the literature agrees on (and most of RIU.)
The key to all of it is mid humidity about 45 - 55% RH so they don't dry out too fast, and temps around mid to low 70's to prevent bud rot. Keep buds away from direct light because excess light degrads the THC.
Again I have no practical experience, I'm just vomiting up what I remember reading over and over again. So take it as a 'research indicates' not provin fact.

Cut the branch system's that don'g get much light and thus won't have big buds on them.
If you don't want to trim your bush, have you considered putting some more lights on the sides of the plants? Putting like 2 cfls on each side of it seems like it should help your baby out.
